Job 24
1 Why are not times treasured up by the Almighty? And why do not they who know him see his days?
Nahoana no tsy misy fotoan’ andro voatendrin’ ny Tsitoha, ary nahoana no tsy hitan’ ny mahalala Azy izany androny Izany?
2 They remove landmarks; They take away flocks by violence, and pasture them.
Misy mamindra fari-tany sy mangalatra omby aman’ ondry sady miandry azy.
3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, And take the widow's ox for a pledge.
Mandroaka ny borikin’ ny kamboty izy, ary maka ny ombin’ ny mpitondratena ho tsatòka.
4 They push the needy from the way; All the poor of the land are forced to hide themselves.
Manosika ny mahantra hiala amin’ ny lalana izy, ka dia miery azy avokoa ny malahelo amin’ ny tany.
5 Behold, like wild asses of the desert, they go forth to their work; They search for prey; The wilderness supplieth them food for their children.
Indro, tahaka ny fivoaky ny boriki-dia any an-efitra no fivoak’ ireny ho amin’ ny asany hiremby; Ny tani-hay no ahazoany hanina ho an’ ny zanany.
6 In the fields they reap the harvest, And gather the vintage of the oppressor.
Any an-tsaha izy maka vilona sy mitsimpontsimpona ny voaloboky ny ratsy fanahy.
7 They lodge naked, without clothing, And without covering from the cold.
Mandry mitanjaka amin’ ny alina izy, satria tsy manan-damba, ka dia tsy manana firakotra amin’ ny hatsiaka;
8 They are drenched with the mountain showers, And embrace the rock for want of shelter.
Kotsan’ ny ranonoram-baratra any an-tendrombohitra izy, ka mitampisaka amin’ ny vatolampy, fa tsy manam-pialofana.
9 The fatherless are torn from the breast, And the garment of the needy is taken for a pledge.
Misarika ny kamboty eo am-pinonoana izy ary maka tsatòka amin’ ny ory.
10 They go naked, without clothing, And carry the sheaf hungry.
Mandeha mitsaitsaika ireo, fa mitanjaka tsy manan-kitafy, ary noana eo am-pitondrana ny amboaram-bary.
11 They make oil within their walls, And tread the wine-vat, yet suffer thirst.
Manao diloilo eo anatin’ ny tambohon’ ny mpampahory azy izy; Ary manosihosy ny famiazam-boaloboka izy, nefa mangetaheta ihany.
12 From anguish the dying groan, And the wounded cry aloud; And God regardeth not their prayer!
Mitrona ny lehilahy ao an-tanana, ary mitaraina ny fanahin’ ny voalefona; Nefa tsy ahoan’ Andriamanitra akory ny ratsy atao.
13 Others hate the light; They know not its ways, And abide not in its paths.
Ireny no mpikomy amin’ ny mazava; Tsy mba mihevitra ny lalany izy, na mitoetra eo amin’ ny alehany.
14 With the light ariseth the murderer; He killeth the poor and needy; In the night he is as a thief.
Raha vao mangiran-dratsy, dia mifoha ny mpamono olona; Mamono ny ory sy ny malahelo izy, ary nony alina, dia tahaka ny mpangalatra.
15 The eye of the adulterer watcheth for the twilight; He saith, “No eye will see me,” And putteth a mask upon his face.
Ny mason’ ny mpijangajanga miandry ny maizimaizina, ka hoy izy: Tsy misy hahalala ahy ka dia manao very maso izy.
16 In the dark they break into houses; In the daytime they shut themselves up; They are strangers to the light.
Misy manamy trano nony maizina; Nefa nony antoandro dia miery izy; Tsy mahalala ny mazava izy;
17 The morning is to them the very shadow of death; They are familiar with the terrors of the shadow of death.
Fa ny aizim-pito no marainan’ ireo rehetra ireo; Satria efa mahazatra azy ny fampahatahoran’ ny aizim-pito izy.
18 Light are they on the face of the waters; They have an accursed portion in the earth; They come not near the vineyards.
Mitsinkafona paohin’ ny rano izy; Voaozona ny anjarany eo amin’ ny tany; Tsy mivily ho amin’ ny lalana mankeny amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka izy.
Toy ny andevonan’ ny maina sy ny mafana ny ranom-panala no andevonan’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita ny mpanota. (Sheol h7585)
20 His own mother forgetteth him; The worm feedeth sweetly on him; He is no more remembered, And iniquity is broken like a tree.
Manadino azy ny vohoka; manjary hanim-py ho an’ ny olitra izy ka tsy tsarovana intsony; Ary tapaka tahaka ny hazo ny ratsy fanahy,
21 He oppresseth the barren, that hath not borne, And doeth not good to the widow.
Dia ilay nandroba ny momba izay tsy niteraka ary tsy nanisy soa ny mpitondratena.
22 He taketh away the mighty by his power; He riseth up, and no one is sure of life.
Kanefa halavain’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny heriny ny andron’ ny olo-mahery; Mitsangana indray ireo, na dia tsy nanampo izay ho velona intsony aza.
23 God giveth them security, so that they are confident; His eyes are upon their ways.
Ataony mandry fahizay sy tsara tohana izy, sady tsinjoviny mandrakariva ny lalany.
24 They are exalted; —in a little while they are gone! They are brought low, and die, like all others; And like the topmost ears of corn are they cut off.
Nasandratra izy, kanjo vetivety dia tsy ao intsony, dia mihalevona izy ka otazana tahaka ny olona rehetra, ary tangosana tahaka ny salohim-bary.
25 If it be not so, who will confute me, And show my discourse to be worthless?
Raha tsy izany, dia aoka hisy hamaky lainga ahy ka hampiseho ny teniko ho tsinontsinona.
